In February, Appleyard was speeding down Montgomery Street in Oroville at about 70 mph and failed to stop at a stop sign at Huntoon Street, according a previous article in this newspaper that cited witnesses and a surveillance video.

Her Volkswagen hit a Toyota that had two people in it — a pregnant mother and her 4-year-old child.*

Appleyard's car then hit a bench with a 15- and 16-year-old sitting on it. The force of the hit sent the girl on the bench through a nearby window. The boy was flung under the car right before the car hit a tree and was stopped.

Four passengers in Appleyard's vehicle were also injured.

Three of the victims, Melissa Hetherwick, who was 29 years old and 22 weeks pregnant at the time of the incident, and two minors whose names were not released, suffered serious injuries.

Two of the teenage victims who had been in Appleyard's car were present in the courtroom for the preliminary hearing.

Appleyard will be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 15.

Correction, Monday, July 1, 2013: The original version of this story incorrectly stated how many passengers were in the Toyota sedan struck by defendant Shaina Leigh Michelle Appleyard. A pregnant mother and her 4-year-old daughter were in the Toyota. The injured included two teens on a bench and four passengers in Appleyard's vehicle. Additionally, the two teenage victims in court Friday were from Appleyard's vehicle and not the Toyota as previously reported. Return to corrected sentence.
